Re: SST In Logical FIle with Select

I do not see any issue with the given PF and LF sources [well... after correcting the alignment and case] for achieving the stated as-desired results. How was "it doesn't work" concluded? A simple CL request to RUNQRY *N QRYFILE((thelib/TheLF)) should verify selection; though not ordering.

FWiW: The "omit all" mentioned elsewhere, is implicit for the given DDS; refer to the DSPFD of the LF that was created. I thought the "Expanded Source" for the DDS listing included that too, but from a test to mimic the given, I did not see the implied OMIT expanded.

are rusty. I could use some knowledgeable help!

I have physical file that contains something like 10 fields in it.
In one field, that is 6 characters long, I need to check the first
two characters of that field and then only include records where the
first two characters contain a specific value.

I thought I could use the SST and then a Select in the logical but
it's not working. Instead I am getting all the records in that file,
not just the ones with the derived field containing a specific
value.

This is my source and it doesn't work.

Physical File named File1:

R RFILE
FIELD1 1a
FIELD2 2a
FIELD3 3a
FIELD4 4a
FIELD5 5a
FIELD6 6a
FIELD7 7a
FIELD8 8a
FIELD9 9a
FIELD10 10a
K FIELD1
K FIELD2

Logical file:

R RFILE PFILE(FILE1)
FIELD1
FIELD2
FIELD6
FIELD8
FIELD10
DRVFLD I SST(FIELD6 1 2)
K FIELD1
K FIELD10
S DRVFLD COMP(EQ 'EV')

How do I code the logical so that it only pulls records where the
derived field DRVFLD = 'EV'?
